Of the eight sports that finished at or above their respective national average, Women's Golf and Women's Tennis led the way with a 98 GSR averages which were both above the national mark.

Men's Tennis averaged 95 which was two points higher than the national mark while Men's Golf (92) finished even with the rest of the country.
 

The NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) begins with the federal cohort (which provides a measure of historic academic comparison between student-athletes and the general student body) and adds transfer students, mid-year enrollees, and non-scholarship students (in specific cases) to the sample. Student-athletes who leave an institution while in good academic standing before exhausting athletic eligibility are removed from the cohort of their initial institution. This rate provides a more complete and accurate look at actual student-athlete success by taking into account the full variety of participants in Division I athletics and tracking their academic outcomes.
